2. General information
We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We process personal data only as far as this is necessary to provide a functioning website, to answer enquiries and to carry out our business. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person.
The legal bases for our processing are the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Depending on the case, we rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), on the performance of a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), on a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3. Hosting
This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When you visit the website, your data is processed on the servers of our hosting provider. We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The use of the hosting provider serves the secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. Server log files
When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes:
  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Requested page or file
  • Amount of data transferred and HTTP status code
  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)
  • Browser type and version, operating system
This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is necessary to deliver the website correctly, to ensure security and stability and to detect misuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after a short period, unless they are needed as evidence of a security incident.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses technically necessary cookies and similar technologies that are required to display and operate the website. The legal basis is Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
All other cookies and external content (see section 8) are only used after you have given your consent (Section 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. You can also delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.
6. Contact form, email and phone
If you contact us via the contact form, by email or by phone, we process the data you provide. In the contact form these are your name, company, phone number, email address, subject and message. We use this data only to handle your enquiry and for possible follow up questions.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry relates to a contract or steps prior to a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our interest in answering enquiries efficiently. Where you have given consent, the basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
We delete your data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with and no statutory retention duties apply. Commercial and tax law may require us to keep business correspondence for up to six or ten years.
7. Business relationships
If we enter into a business relationship with you or your company, we process the data necessary for quotations, order handling, service delivery, shipping, invoicing and accounting. This may include contact details, vessel and equipment data and payment data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR. For shipping we pass on the data required for delivery to our logistics partners and carriers.
8. External content
Google Maps
On our contact page we embed a map of Google Maps, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google). When the map is loaded, your browser connects to Google servers, and your IP address and other technical data may be transmitted to Google, which may also process the data in the USA. The map is only loaded after you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Further information is available in Google’s privacy policy.
Fonts
 

The fonts used on this website are hosted locally on our own web server at our hosting provider IONOS SE (see section 3). When you visit the website, your browser does not connect to the servers of external font providers, and no data is transmitted to them for this purpose.

9. Recipients and transfers to third countries
We pass on personal data only where this is necessary for the purposes described above. Recipients can be our hosting provider, IT service providers, logistics partners, tax advisors and authorities, where required by law. Service providers act on the basis of data processing agreements.
If data is transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, this only happens where an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists, where appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place, or where you have given your explicit consent.
10. Storage period
We store personal data only as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose or as long as statutory retention periods require. After that, the data is deleted or anonymised.
